Re: China won't force Yao to return from injury China won't force Yao to return from injuryReutersBEIJING -- Injured Yao Ming will not be pressured by China's basketball officials to rush back from injury to play for the national team, Yao's management has said.A possible six-month recuperation period for Yao's broken foot -- sustained against the Jazz earlier in the month -- has put in doubt the Houston Rockets center's fitness for the world championships in September.The Shanghai Morning Post on Friday quoted Zhang Mingji, spokesman for Team Yao, as saying the Chinese Basketball Association had promised adequate time for the player's full recovery.Yao, who underwent surgery last week, will return from the United States by mid-June, Zhang said. Traditional Chinese medicine may be used to aid his recovery.http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2416392
Re: China won't force Yao to return from injury That's good. Yao showed this season he has a bright future ahead of him. But foot surgeries can be a real pain. Also it's sometime better to be injured at the beginning of the season so you can come back strong next year as we saw with Lamar Odom, who had no jumpshot at the beginning of the season.
